Harry Kane will not activate the €65m release clause in his Bayern contract, as reported by Christian Falk and Sport Bild. Instead, the England captain is fully focused on winning trophies in Munich, with Bayern set to open contract talks later this year.

Markus Fjørtoft and Jan Åge Fjørtoft break down what this means for Bayern and the Bundesliga, the Premier League links, whether Kane’s future is now firmly in Germany, and why Kane does NOT care about the Premier League record.

  1. Absolutely no surprise here, why on earth would he return to the PL to beat Shearer's record?? Meaningless, staying at Bayern means he'll win many Bundesliga titles and maybe a CL gong too, or at least be part of a potential cup winning side.

  2. I originally thought Kane would go back to England after his contract, especially to raise his family. Now my fingers are crossed he’ll stay at Bayern for a long time. It’s looking more likely now!

  3. Haaland will smash Alan Shearers record in 2030-32 anyway.
    It is almost inevitable, there is absolutly no point for Harry to go and sacrifice trophys for it.
    Compare winning the Championsleague to being the PremireLeague topscorer for 3 seasons xD
